...Starting today, students can sign up here for four “College Foundations” courses which start on March 7, 2023 and offer eligibility for transfer credit. This suite encompasses the most common first-year college courses at many higher-education institutions: English Composition, College Math, US History and Human Communication. Developed and taught by the same faculty who conduct research and teach students on ASU's campuses, the lessons combine ASU's academic excellence with Crash Courses's compelling storytelling — all on YouTube's wide-reaching platform. Anyone can get started — no applications or minimum GPAs needed.
Study Hall is slated to expand to 12 available courses by January 2025. This will give learners a chance to receive credit for an entire first year of college from a top public research university at a time and place that works best for them. And they’re available to watch at no cost! There is a $25 fee if the learner elects to sign up and begin coursework, and an optional $400 fee to receive college credit for each course. Learners who register before March 7, 2023 will receive special scholarship pricing of $350 per course — less than one-third of the average course cost at a public four-year university for in-state students and nearly 90% lower than the average course cost of a private four-year university. Each course can be taken as often as needed until the learner is satisfied with their grade. This credit can then be used at any of the hundreds of institutions that accept credits from ASU.* ...
Bonus semi-on-topic thread from r/techology about zoomers being too dumb to operate a computer
This is literally what we’re dealing with in university. Students don’t know how to manage files, navigate directories, download software, troubleshoot. I teach technical workshops on cowtools and platforms and they don’t know how to get images from Google or upload as attachments. I’m integrating all this stuff in my teaching now, but wow
taught a introductory class to python programming and it made me quit after that semester. They couldnt download and unzip files. I got dozens of emails about what was a directory. Etc.
How do I download chrome without an App Store? 
What I find most surprising is how poorly kids are with computers. I always thought the generations behind me would be better and better as we become a more technologically world. Turns out smart phones and tablets seems to mean a lot of gen z aren’t able to use PCs fully. Things like excel, word, even basic file management isn’t being picked up. I’ve seen a lot of people entering the work place who didn’t understand how to make a folder. Apps etc they’re great on.
Everyone always told me the generations behind me would be so much smarter as technology advanced. Thank you Apple and Google for making things so dumbed down everyone is a literal drooling neanderthal!
Millenial here. Back whan I was in school was even worse. Like, ZERO digital devices used in school, completely banned, including calculators. Smarphones weren't really a thing yet (at least in my country, Brazil), only the richest kids got them and puling out a phone in class was completely out of the question. There was a room with computers, it was locked 99.9% of the time until some daring teacher was willing to make an activity that involved anything more advanced than paper and pencil. They were also incredibly anti-internet, anti-search engines and I grew up hearing that computer screens would give your eyes cancer and all that kind of shit. I'm a software developer today, no thanks to the schools I've been. Looking back now, I'm actually baffled I made it.
Umm, akstually, Millennial's had it even worse. Let me tell you about being a poor in Brazil and how this means it was the same in 1st world country's 
As a GenXer (IT Director)...I read much of the items below and have come to the following conclusion: I feel very, very secure in my job.

I thought zoomers were supposed to be the 'tech literate' generation? Raised on YouTube and Reddit and deviantArt and all that? They literally don't have a single redeeming quality going for them in that case. Zoomercide when?

You're conflating early zoomers (grew up on windows XP) with later zoomers (grew up on iphone)

Zoomers are less tech literate than millennials because all they know how to use is apps.

Amazingly, having all technology made easier to use so that everyone has access means you have to handhold everything constantly.
